PAUL’S PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY
Romans 15:14-21
1. How is Romans 15:14 shaped by what Paul has already taught in Romans?




2. What does “goodness” mean? Where does it come from? How can we be filled with it?




3. What kind of knowledge is Paul referring to? Why is it necessary to preach to the spiritually mature who are “full of all knowledge’?




4. What does the word “admonish” [noutheteo] mean? Who is responsible to admonish others? How are they to do that?
